Day Eight: “Edge” — Straighten Your Image

At Ta Prohm, the jungle temple in the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, centuries-old carvings have fallen victim to time and tree roots. In some areas, walls still stand, their intact windows creating frames and portals. The solid, straight edges of the windows are a stark contrast to the stones that have tumbled down over time.

I’m trying not to lose my head, ha-ha”

Hand Rail

Hold on for your life
To the hand rail
Said the old wife
God forbid you to fail
You may end up
In dismay
Down the ledge
To the very edge
Of the dark waters
For the waves slaughter

 Water’s Edge

Follow the narrow street
To the water’s edge will it lead
You might catch a glimpse
Of the flowing fleet
Or even for this season
Catch of the day is shrimp

Full Moon for Daily Photo

“She used to tell me that a full moon was when mysterious things happen and wishes come true.”
― Shannon A. Thompson, November Snow

Full Moon for Daily Photo

Full moon on a July’s night
Looming above, like a round kite
The whole court yard alight
From it’s shining bright might

The air quiet and lite
Nature preparing, for a midnight’s rite
Running outside, in delight
Like a moon child, ready for flight

“LinkedIn is for the people you know. Facebook is for the people you used to know. Twitter is for people you want to know”

Hashtag Hell

“Welcome
to hashtag hell”

She said and into the pit fell

“Yes, that is brimstone you smell
Do not on the what ifs dwell
You are here yourself to sell
Awarded, if you do it well!”

She added

“Otherwise
Your demise
Will be,
Quite precise
And, you’ll become
The one
You despise!”

And with an evil laugh,
She was gone

Quote a Week Tuesday

For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen some very wise words by Anne Frank:

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world.”

Mundane Monday

“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles.” Deborah Norville

Abandoned on Monday

“No buses today”

“Why?”

“Because, it’s Monday”

“So, I am just supposed to stay?”

“Well, you stay and play,
Or call for a taxi
And a higher fee pay!”

“What if I simply pray?”

“No use,
The buses won’t come today”

“Why?”

“Because, it’s Monday!”

Red Light on Monday

Don’t run
Against the red light
You might
Get a sight
If the coppers
Are watching
In their choppers!

Sunshine on Monday

Look, who decided to show up
And here I was starting
To get all wound up!

Quickly, up from the tub
Grab my favourite cup
And outside,
With a huff and puff
I go
And none too slow!

Before, that is,
My favourite show
On TV is up!

Rain on Monday

The snail’s predictions
Done, with convictions
Brought us destruction
With a set of storm and rain
Falling heavily,
Onto, the open plane

Dark Clouds on Monday

Ominous and eerie
Even though, in theory
It was still summer

Feelings of weary
Vision getting blurry
Starting to worry
As the weather
Was getting glummer
